This boba place is one of many in Oakland's Chinatown and it's one of the best I've ever tried! I'm someone who strongly dislikes artificial flavoring (who wants to drink candy?), and when I ordered the peach orange oolong tea here, it tasted fresh, just the right amount of sweet (I got 50%) and not artificial at all. They use actual tea here and you can taste it in the drink. I've heard nothing but good things about this place and am glad I finally got to try it! They also have a small selection of food items such as banh mi (vegetarian and non-vegetarian available) and popcorn chicken. I got their cold cut combo and it was very tasty, especially as leftovers the next day. Very easy place to get to once you're in Chinatown, especially if you take public transportation (some parking available but most is metered and has a time limit). Also located near a couple of notable restaurants so you can make a whole meal out of it! read more

While passing by recently, I saw that they were advertising blueberry seasonal drinks, so decided to order. I got a blueberry matcha latte with 25% sweetness, less ice, and the vegetarian banh mi, vegan/veggie ham version. In the latte, the blueberry tasted like preserves or jam which made it quite sweet, even for 25% sweetness. I'm assuming they probably couldn't make it any less sweet without having to take out the blueberry part entirely. While I would've been curious what fresh blueberries would've tasted like with the drink, I understand the choice of preserved or very sweet blueberries given it can help balance out the more bitter flavor of matcha. It was pretty good overall. As for the banh mi, I really liked the crunchy fried noodle bits, and the pickled radish and carrots were nicely sour. The veggie ham itself was also pretty good. The sandwich had some mayo, and overall it felt a bit more on the dry side, but I liked it and am happy that they have multiple vegetarian options. I picked out the jalapeno and it didn't taste spicy after that. read more

They have Vietnamese Egg Coffee here?! Honestly, it is rare to see egg coffee outside of Vietnam, I even have difficulty finding places with that item in the huge Vietnamese shopping plaza down in SJ! The Egg Coffee was not quite like the petite espresso shot + magic marshmallow-y cream they served in Vietnam, but it was nice to be able to order a hot or iced version of the drink that tastes similar but was just presented differently, more like a boba drink. I also ordered their banh mi, which was quite filling. The iced egg coffee and banh mi were enough to keep me full past dinnertime that day and it wasn't at a bad price! read more

I like seeing Vietnamese style boba options! Not every place has things like pandan milk and Vietnamese egg coffee. I definitely want to return to try their other offerings. Although I ordered less sweet for both drinks, I personally think they're still on the too sweet side. No sugar was not an option. read more

Boba Milk Tea Judgment: high B- assam has some character but then falls off relatively quickly cream is not super watery but it's not really adding too much either mix is decent for a solid moment but leaves very lil trace of its existence save for an eek of darkness from the assam, which is nice for however long it lasts tbh unfortunately also leaves a lil sugary feel behind too solid pearls (but it feels and tastes like cheaper quality pearls) not filled to the top at all *_* nice, clean cup a lil wait/some turnaround parking might be tuff during peak hours (Oakland Chinatown) $5.75 1/19/25 read more

I had their Vietnamese Egg Coffee. It starts with a strong brew of Vietnamese coffee, crowned with a sweet, rich, yet light foam made from sweetened condensed milk and egg yolk. First Sip: As you take that initial sip, the bitterness of the coffee hits your taste buds. It's bold and invigorating, waking you up with its robust flavor. Smooth Transition: But here's the magic: as you continue sipping, the bitterness mellows out. The silky foam adds a luxurious texture, and suddenly, the coffee becomes smoother, almost like a dessert in a cup. Love at Every Sip: By the time you reach the bottom of your cup, you'll find yourself falling in love with this intriguing concoction. It's a delightful balance of bitter and sweet, with layers of flavor that keep you coming back for more. read more

Small place, quick on the go food to order. Loved the red guava matcha boba, was the perfect amount of sweetness even at 50%.

Boba binge is quite bustling and has pleasing vibrant interiors with bright green chairs. The menu boats all kinds of drinks and pandan waffles and what not. I tried the lemongrass tofu banh mi which I thought was a letdown, the tofu was overfried and too chewy, the jalapeno had no kick and the dressing was all concentrated to one side. After the high standards Fresh & Best II's banh mi has set in the east bay, it's hard to settle for anything less. read more

I've been on the hunt for a legit Vietnamese egg coffee since moving out of SJ and Boba Binge has it! Nestled in Oakland Chinatown, this small boba shop is slinging out boba drinks and banh mi sandwiches. Their egg coffee is deliciously sweet, creamy, strong, and generously topped with the whipped egg and condensed milk mixture. I had a grilled pork banh mi as well which was decent. The pork could've been more tender and flavorful, but the other components of the sandwich made it good overall. Came here late in the afternoon on a Saturday and I did have to do the usual loop around the block to find street parking. Ordering can be done at the kiosk tablet or at the register with the staff. Staff is friendly and makes sure orders are correct before handing off. read more

This place is conveniently located near other food places, so you can get a little of other things around the area and get a drink here or just get a full meal there to-go since this isn't really a sit-down place to eat. It is more of a place to wait for your food and drinks to be ready before going since there aren't any tables to enjoy your food and hang out. For ordering, you can order at the counter or at a kiosk or online. We got the Matcha Tornado and the Dark Roast Oolong Milk Tea, which came out at a decent time. The Matcha Tornado was a nice amount of Matcha that wasn't like other places where they have it very watered down. This was a decent amount where you can tell that it is Matcha and aren't guessing what flavor it is. It also had a Cream swirled on the sides of the cup and Oreo bits blended it, which went well with the drink and gave it a little more texture. Not your traditional Boba, but still a decent one that I would have again. The Dark Roast Oolong Milk Tea had a nice strong flavor unlike some places that have it very watered down. Unlike some drinks, this boba isn't very sweet and is more on the mellow side. This drink would go well with Grass Jelly that I will get next time when we go there. Overall good quality Boba compared to other places. Definitely coming back again. read more

Vietnamese egg coffee has been on my mind for awhile now and let me just tell you, SF natives are not the only unicorns here! This beverage is nearly impossible to find in Oakland and SF but look no further! While walking around Chinatown, I saw a huge sign that displayed this drink. My initial though was to frisbee the sign into Lake Merrit, teehee, but that would be selfish of me to hide this secret from the world. No need to make the trek to San Jose for this goody. Its smooth, its not too sweet, its frothy, its just heaven. Enjoy! read more

The food is very fresh and clean. Maybe a little pricier than average but worth it for the freshness. They do a high volume of business. It doesn't seem like any of the ingredients have sat around. The tea drinks are very well done. Fresh ingredients and you can specify the level of ice and sweetness that you prefer. This is great for someone like myself who does not like overly sweet anything. Their surfaces fast and you can also order ahead online through various apps. read more

I was a customer at the Boba Binge - Uptown location first. My amazing coworker, who is also a boba connoisseur, told me about it. We are always on the hunt for quality boba. DRINK: My go-to drink here is the Vietnamese Coffee Milk Tea (with coffee jelly) - oak milk substitute and 50% sugar. I don't add additional toppings like boba to this drink because it already comes with the coffee jelly. So so good! If you're feeling that 2pm slump creeping in, wander over to Chinatown for a boba/caffeine fix. You won't regret it! LOCATION: It's located across the street from Renaissance Plaza. You really can't miss it. PARKING: Street parking only, unless you want to park in the Renaissance Plaza garage. Friendly staff, and excellent service! I will definitely be back! read more

The food and boba I've had here have been decent, but nothing to write home about. I have no idea why this place is so popular--it seems to be slammed by mobile orders. The ambiance is terrible because it's essentially a revolving door of people picking up for UberEats or similar. Very few people come to sit down and enjoy anything. And they're not very efficient at calling out drinks from the counter when they're ready. Food 4/5 stars, service and ambiance 2/5 stars. read more

We ordered a mango milk tea with boba and durian smoothie. We ordered on the kiosk. You can also order with a cashier but may have to wait a bit longer. We got no sweetness with the mango milk tea. The boba and mango syrup added some sweetness. We got less ice. This drink tasted a bit watery to be honest but maybe next time we'll ask for no ice. I think the ice may have melted as we were waiting for our other drink. Boba quality is good. I do like they give plenty of boba with the drink. We got the durian smoothie and this one took awhile. We ordered it less sweet but it was still pretty sweet. I enjoyed the smoothie but if you order it just be prepared to wait. A lot of people were ordering bahn mi here so I will definitely need to try it one day! read more

Have you ever felt so down that you went looking for something to eat or drink to feel better? Look no further-- a strawberry matcha boba from Boba Binge is a hug. Each time I've come, it is simply magic in my mouth. Okay, prob gross. But really, I'm a believer, and I'm happy about simple things. I also really enjoy how $6.50 or so for this large boba drink is amaze. I also will vouch for the chicken, beef, or pork banh mi... all $8.50 or so for each of those options. You might wait a minute while they prep but it is worth it! Neighborhood fav! read more

Boba Binge has two locations in Oakland, this is for their Oakland Chinatown location on Webster. There are a few boba places within walking distance of this place, I've only had their boba once and enjoyed it because they had some flavors that the other places didn't. Recently I tried their banh mi, Vietnamese sandwiches, which I ordered by delivery on Doordash for convienience, and the sandwiches turned out pretty well. My mom, uncle and I saved the sandwiches for a plane ride because we didn't want to spend $$ on bad airplane food, and even though the sandwiches were a couple hours old, we all agreed the banh mi was pretty tasty. The ingredients were fresh, I ordered the chicken and pork banh mi. I would try their banh mi and boba again, I think competition is healthy and good for this neighborhood. read more

Ordered Boba Binge on DoorDash. I had ordered the meatball and egg banh mi, egg rolls, and the tropical tea. The meat ball and egg banh mi was actually very delicious, great combination of it together; a little heavy on the carrots and radish in the sandwich but otherwise it was great! Total of 5 egg rolls, hot and fresh, very delicious. The items were made quick too, and the Dasher came earlier than expected. One thing is I wish the bread a bit more toasted, I love me some toasted bread. I also ordered no toppings for my tropical tea and 50% sweetness. Refreshing drink, wish it had more fruits in it, the photos looked like it had more fruits too. I've always drive past this place, and I'm glad to finally try it. I give it a 5/5 for its food and drink. Not sure how their service is; maybe an update in the future. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Wow, this location is so fast! I think most of the Boba Binge crowd is now at the other location because not only did I manage to find parking right in front during lunch, I put in two separate orders at the kiosk and they each came out within a few minutes. Love it. Taste wise, it's pretty much all the same between the two locations. Same friendly service and delicious drinks/food. The jasmine milk tea, Asaam milk tea plus coffee shot, any fruit smoothies and pandan waffles are all great. And any banh mi - really! Their bread is always fresh and the veggies are plentiful. Gah, please open in Alameda next. :) read more

I've heard great things about Boba Binge and it lived up to the hype! I came by Monday afternoon around 3:15 and there was a short line to order. Also the entire time I was waiting for my drink, there was a nonstop influx of people coming. I was surprised by how popular this place was. They sell both drinks and food. Drinks include your usual suspects like boba and slushies in addition to Vietnamese coffee and something interesting called a tornado. I didn't get one, but the picture they had of the matcha tornado looked super interesting. For food they offer a variety of banh mi as well as popcorn chicken and egg rolls if you just want a snack. There is very limited counter seating here and a couple of chairs for people waiting for their order. Looks like it's primarily a takeout spot. I got a basic Hokkaido milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice for $5.75. No boba. It was SO good, definitely one of the best boba drinks I had recently. Even with the 50% sugar, I thought it was on the sweeter side, so next time I might try 25% sugar, but otherwise it was solid. There's a lot on the menu I want to try too, like the strawberry matcha latte and the mango slushy, so I will be back! read more

I previously tried their Uptown location and absolutely loved it, so when I was in Chinatown I had to support this location. I saw the advertisement sign outside showing the Pandan Milk and it looked so refreshing I had to try! I'm not a huge fan of Pandan flavored items, but I wanted to try something different and non-caffeinated, so this drink was perfect. I also ordered my favorite, the grilled chicken banh mi. Please support this family owned business, it's truly one of the best boba places I've tried. read more

This place is newish to the area and I LOVE it! I'd go way more often if I wasn't stuck counting calories again but the Boba is some of the best I've had. The classic milk tea with 25% sugar is my favorite and the chicken bites are pretty much to die for with portions generous enough to feed 2-3 people for a snack. It's pretty popular so plan ahead timing-wise. The people who work here are really friendly and the location is great. Very close to BART/Paramount Theater. read more

First time here and really enjoyed it all! You can tell they're a popular spot. Steady flow of people coming in alongside online orders, but the chachier was very friendly and food/drinks came out fast. It's always important to have a veg bahn-mi spot in your back pocket, and the Lemongrass tofu one did not disappoint! There's space to wait for your food, but nowhere to really sit and eat, so more of a to-go joint. read more

First, the name is catchy and fun to say. Second, if you don't like their drinks, try their banh mi. Honestly, they should change their name to Banh Mi Binge, haha; these Vietnamese sandwiches are the real stars of the show! I have ordered from Boba Binge several times in the past year, maybe 5-6 times? Every time, I got banh mi and a random snack: * I've tried their popcorn chicken and spring rolls. They're pretty delicious. Not super distinct but they definitely meet the (high) standard of delicious snacks. A must have if you're having friends over and need finger foods. I've gotten it for many different circles of friends and they're always a favorite. * I've tried their drinks. Given taro and mango are usually my favorites, I tried those. Both ended very syrup-y. I definitely like real taro chunks and a more authentic flavor, so I wasn't super impressed with the drinks. However, many other people have said good things about their fruity drinks, so it may just be me! * Their Banh Mis. I've tried all of the meat-centric ones. All of them. The chicken, pork, beef, you name it. I love them all. You cannot go wrong. Pick any of them. And here's the best part: Their banh mis are only $8! I can't believe there exists a dish under $10 in the bay and this yummy too. The bun is crunchy and the bread inside is soft. The sauce keeps the sandwich tasty and the fresh vegetables inside add some crunch too. The meat is juicy and tasty, despite being such thin slices. There's tons of meat and vegetables, so you're really looking a fairly large, worthwhile sandwich. I now live in SF, but every so often, I contemplate going back to Oakland *just for boba Binge. I mean it. Go to Boba Binge and order a banh mi. Actually, you might regret ordering just one. Order several. For lunch, dinner, and your midnight snack. Gah, I can't wait for my next banh mi, haha! read more

I walked by here, and they happened to be open on Memorial Day, so I got the White Peach Cloud, a seasonal drink, with 75% sugar and Honey Boba. I liked the drink because it tasted pretty sweet (it makes me wonder what 100% would've tasted like). The boba was chewy, and the drink also had mango chunks in it. It's a small casual place, so I think it would easily accommodate 1-2 people, but larger groups wouldn't be able to sit. ECO NOTES Cups: Plastic, but they will let you bring your own cup (BYOC). Straws: Plastic, but I brought my own reusable metal straw. read more

Drinks were not bad for the price, first time having Vietnamese egg coffee - it was very strong, as expected. I do love the creaminess from the egg part of the drink. My friend got the cloudy mango - he says there's no mango taste and theres sugar syrupy taste instead. -the drink component mainly consisted of sweet milk and mango jellies. - I personally enjoyed the jellies. But if you are expecting real mangos in the drink, I don't recommend this drink. You can order at the register or on the kiosk. I used the kiosk - it was fast and simple! There is limited seating when it gets busy but there's seating to wait for your order. The place is well kept and clean. read more
